MUSIC VIDEO: Duelling trombones! New Orleans Jazz Hounds

Ed. here. Occasionally, when Walt was feeling "blocked", we've reposted music (or other entertaining) videos scraped from YouTube. Most of these have been well received, judging from the number of click-throughs, so it may be that our faithful readers like the occasional break from Walt's rants about religion and politics.

With that in mind, I've found -- recommended by Agent 3, thank you -- a great Dixieland jazz band which I hadn't heard of before. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, and I dare say nobody expects an excellent jazz combo named the New Orleans Jazz Hounds to be an all-Japanese group! And who would expect a 7-piece band to include three -- count `em, 3! -- trombones. Here they are, with a terrific rendition of "Careless Love"



Recorded At The Hub Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. For more, search "New Orleans Jazz Hounds" on YouTube. You're welcome.

Note from Walt: Well done, Ed. I admire your self-control not to have gone for the cheap gag about the tune being called "Careress Rove". I couldn't resist it.
